Question Address registry?

[Access Denied]

I've moved into a flat that has been recently converted from an office to residential. 2 months after I moved in, nowhere has my house number listed on their automatic address finders. This is a problem for my credit referencing agency as there's no way to input my address manually and they're being dicks to get hold of.

Is there some sort of registry that my landlord/estate agent has neglected to update? I know it's been changed to residential for the Valuation Agency.

Cheers.

iirc it's the Post Office that manages the Post Code address database - Update a missing or wrong address

Yep, but it's likely down to the landlord to register it and surprised it passed building regs without it.

Probably take some time for the registration to filter through tho

Bad times, make plans for being elsewhere in the future, you'll thank me later.

Elaborate? I'm pretty sure it was originally a flat that was changed to be an office and it's just been changed back. The layout is definitely residential.

That's fine but if it was built to be an office and it's been converted they're usual of a lesser quality leading to expensive repairs in the long term

Local Council - confirm address is correct and registered as residential. The Post Office - confirm the address.
